Secretary of FaithK.C. Boyd
When theocracy takes over America, it won’t be cloaked. State media, biblical law, quite simply, the end of our times as we know them.
Synopsis
Lies, fear, and the Holy Bible are the country’s undoing in K.C. Boyd’s second, dystopian novel, a story that sits all too close to today’s reality. Vividly depicting the present-day racism, greed, and religious hypocrisy, Secretary of Faith serves as a must-read antidote to Project 2025. After an orchestrated victory, the newly elected President redefines the country by changing its name to the United Christian States of America. Next, he reduces the traditional number of seats in his cabinet to four, and adds a fifth, the Department of Faith, appointing his lifetime mentor, Christian Hillcox, as its first ever Secretary.
A page-turning thriller, Secretary of Faith serves up the realities of sex, murder, and the Christian Nationalist politics of our times. Truth being stranger than fiction, Secretary of Faith points the way to the dark future Americans will face should Project 2025 become reality. The rule of law is dead. Sanctioned by the administration, violent mobs take to the streets. Media is state-run; neighbors inform on neighbors; loved ones vanish, never to return. When a natural disaster strikes the West Coast, an already well-organized Resistance emerges and Secretary Hillcox finds himself in a battle to maintain both the administration’s narrative and his own position through evermore frightening means.
In a showdown between Good and Evil, the question is—will citizens rise to the occasion and save the Republic?
Reviews
If you think today’s headlines portend a grim theocratic future, welcome to the United Christian States of America as depicted in K. C. Boyd’s riveting and fastpaced dystopian fantasy about what happens when radical right-wing Christian nationalism takes power. In Secretary of Faith, Boyd takes us into a dark and often lurid hellscape filled with murder, treachery, and various other unspeakable acts that are a little too close for comfort to today’s reality. It’s a gripping narrative that shows that in life, as in fiction, the only antidote to desperate times is a powerful Resistance.”

It’s frightening how close we are to facing the world of K.C. Boyd’s dystopian novel, Secretary of Faith. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in where Project 2025 may take us.”

About the Author
After twenty years of visiting megachurches in Ohio and across the country, attending various 'Values Voters'' conferences, and watching untold hours of televangelists preach the 'Word', K.C. Boyd decided to use her flare for fiction to share the dangerous truths she saw. As human beings have always responded to story, Boyd felt the need to communicate the grave danger we face—particularly from religious extremists who now stand arm in arm with genuine fascists—through fiction.
